American Thanksgiving

[Caliga]

So Princesca decided we were hosting Thanksgiving this year, which means we'll have 19 people over.

Just picked up a giant turkey and earlier I hung a painting over the fireplace and a bunch in the bedroom.  Next I have to finish cleaning my office because "I want to be able to leave all the doors open." 

OTOH I discovered that there's a Moe's Southwest Grill within walking distance from the dealer I take my car to for service.  Pork burrito FTW.

What side dishes do you make for your Thanksgiving, Cal? We have a set menu that we've had every year for about 20 years now, though my sister and I have tried to change it up a bit.

• Green Bean Casserole
• Scalloped Corn
• Scalloped Oysters
• Cranberry Sauce (finally homemade instead of canned)
• Sage stuffing
• Giblet gravy
• Mashed potatoes (lumpy with just milk and butter, but this year I'm making a second one with roasted garlic, sour cream, and chives
• Sweet potatoes (no more marshmallows! We now make them fresh and use maple syrup or brown sugar and butter instead)
• Six different types of pies: apple, cherry, pumpkin, blueberry, minced meat, and whatever cream pie my sister thinks sounds good

There are also the snackie things we have before dinner like olives, pickles, crudites, etc.

Because we're hosting it and doing the turkey, we're not 'officially' doing any side dishes... the other guests will be bringing them.  That said, I may still make a loaf of bread and bake a bean pie.

It's always the same side dishes with Princesca's family.  I can't say for sure what we'll have but it will all come from the below list:

* green bean casserole
* broccoli casserole
* oyster dressing
* regular dressing
* mashed taters
* devilled eggs
* cranberry sauce
* banana quarters rolled in mayonnaise and peanuts
* seven layer salad
* ham and cheese rolls
* grits casserole
* creamed corn casserole

Desserts:

* pumpkin pie
* pecan pie
* fried apple (individual) pies
* Italian cream cake
* carrot cake
* red velvet cake
* cookies (usually no-bake or chocolate chip)

Moe's is delicious poison.

I made turkey last week. Brined it in apple cider.

SIGH.

They sound like shit, I know, but they're actually not that bad.  I make a point of eating at least one because it makes Princesca's cousin's wife (who makes them) happy, and I like making her happy because she has huge tits.

An understandable motivation, but that you have to have a motivations beyond the taste of the food itself doesn't do anything to make her cooking sound better.

Trust me, I've had that shit before. And the PINK STUFF.
